REMARKS. 


THIS  Catalogue  introduces  one  of  the  most  important  collec- 
tions of  books  which  has  been  offered  the  American  public 

for  years.  The  owner,  Harold  Peirce,  of  Philadelphia,  has 
long  been  known  among  book  collectors,  as  one  always  wil- 
ling to  pay  a  fair  price  for  any  literary  rarity,  on  condition 
that  it  be  in  the  best  possible  state.  Consequently,  with  this 
reputation,  he  has  been  able  to  accumulate  a  library  which,  for 
the  field  in  literature  it  covers  and  the  condition  of  the  books 
(being  nearly  all  in  their  original  bindings,  uncut),  sur- 
passes any  which  has  been  sold  for  many  3'ears.  It  is  im- 
possible for  us  to  give  a  description,  at  this  time,  of  the  many 
literary  rarities  embraced  in  the  collection,  further  than  to  state 
that  it  includes  the  finest  set  of  the  Kelmscott  Press,  ever 
offered  at  public  sale,  including  many  vellum  and  presentation 
copies  from  William  Morris,  the  founder,  as  well  as  an  unique 
collection  of  his  published  writings,  manuscripts,  and  books  from 
his  library.  A  full  set  of  the  Doves  Press,  with  all  but  one  of 
the  vellum  copies;  the  Essex  House  Press,  both  paper  and  vellum, 
embracing  both  the  Psalter  and  Prayerbook  ;  the  Vale  Press, 
the  Daniel  Press  ;  the  Ashendene  Press  ;  the  Ellston  Press,  and 
a  general  collection  of  the  most  important  limited  publications. 
Remarkable  collections  of  the  first  editions  of  Ruskin,  Rossetti, 
Swinburne,  Tennyson,  Keats,  Shelley,  Coleridge,  Leigh  Hunt, 
L,amb,  Symonds,  Byron,  George  Meredith,  George  Eliot,  Dick- 
ens, Thackeray,  etc.;  also  Bunyan's  Holy  War,  Goldsmith's 
Vicar  of  Wakefield  and  Burton's  Anatomy  of  Melancholy.  The 
long  sets  of  standard  English  authors  are  the  very  best  editions 
obtainable,  whilst  the  General  History  and  Biography  is  of  the 
utmost  importance.  The  Art  Works  include  many  of  the  most 
sumptuous  published,  and  the  collection  of  early  printed  books 
and  works  on  Folk-lore,  Astrology,  Witchcraft  and  Fairy  My- 
thology is  one  of  the  most  important  we  have  had  the  pleasure 
of  cataloguing. 

This  present  Catalogue  [Part  I]  embraces  everything  in  the 
library  which  pertains  to  American  History,  among  which  will  be 
found  a  complete  set  of  the  Grolier  Club  Publications,  in  original 
bindings,  including  one  of  the  vellum  copies  (which  are  virtually 
unobtainable);  practically  a  complete  set  of  the  publications  of 
William  Eoring  Andrews,  including  one  of  two  untrimmed  copies 
of  New  Amsterdam;  the  quarto  edition  of  the  Eulogy  on  Craw- 
ford, which  is  considered  unique  ;  Acrelius'  New  Sweden,  1759; 
Beverley's  Virginia,  1705;    Broadside  of  "The  Gerry-mander,"

Fine  copy  of  this  rare  book,  with  name  of  furmer  owner  oti  title,  and  manu- 
scripts notes  throughout.  The  Swedish  Colony  and  Mission  on  the  Delaware, 
planted  in  1638,  under  Oxenstiern,  wrested  by  Stuyvesant  of  Manhattan  and 
annexed  to  New  Nederlaud  in  1655,  and  swallowed  up  by  the  Enjlish  in  1664, 
together  with  other  Dutch  possessions  in  America,  was  never  really  abandoned 
or  forgotten  by  the  parent  state  till  1791,  when  it  had  become  permanently  pro- 
vided for  and  protected  as  part  of  the  great  repul>lic  of  the  United  States.  The 
best  history  of  it  is  this  by  Acrelius,  born  in  1714,  died  1800,  who  wrote  first- 
hand, having  been  provost  over  its  three  churches,  and  rector  of  the  old  Svyedish 
church  at  Wilmington  for  seven  years,  1749-1756.  Besides  his  own  collections 
and  experience,  he  seems  to  have  used  judiciously  all  previous  authors  who  had 
touched  or  written  on  the  same  subject.

HISTORICAL  DOCUMENTS. 


Letter  Signed  by  George  and  Martha  Washington.      The 
Only  Letter  Signed  Conjointly  by  Them  in  Existence. 

794  Washington,  George.  Commander-in-Chief  of  the 
Continental  Army.  First  President  of  the  United  States. 
Autograph  letter,  signed.  2  pages.  4to.  Philadelphia,  30th 
Mar  :  1796.  Signed  also  by  his  Wife,  Martha  Wash- 
ington.    To  Tobias  L,ear. 

"  My  deal'  Sir, 

"  Your  former  letters  prepared  us  for  the  stroke,  which  that  of  the  25th  in- 
stant announced  ;  but  it  has  fallen  heavily  notwithstanding.— 

"  It  is  the  nature  of  humanity  to  mourn  for  the  loss  of  our  friends  ;  and  the 
more  we  loved  them,  the  more  poignant  is  our  grief.— It  is  pai't  of  the  pre- 
cepts of  religion  and  Philosophy,  to  consider  the  Dispensations  of  Provi- 
dence as  wise,  iramutahle,  uncontroulable  ;  of  course,  that  it  is  our  duty  to 
submit  with  as  little  repining,  as  the  sensibility  of  our  natures  is  capable  of 
to  all  its  decrees.— But  nature  will,  notwithstanding,  indulge,  tor  a  while,  its 
sorrows.— 

"To  say  how  much  we  loved,  and  esteemed  our  departed  friend,  is  unneces- 
sary—She is  now  no  more ! — but  she  must  be  happy,  because  her  virtue  has  a 
claim  to  It. 

"  As  you  talked  of  coming  to  this  place  on  business,  let  us  press  you  to  do 
so.— The  same  room  that  serves  Mr.  Dandridge  and  Washington  is  large 
enough  to  receive  a  Bed  also  for  you  ;  and  it  is  needless  to  add,  we  shall  be 
glad  of  your  company.— The  change  may  be  servicable  to  you ;— and  if  our 
wishes  were  ot  any  avail,  They  would  induce  you  to  make  your  stay  here  as 
long  as  your  convenience  would  permit, 

"  At  all  times,  and  under  all  circumstances,  we  are,  and  ever  shall  remain, 
Your  sincere  and 

"  AlTectionate  friends 

"  Geo  Washington 
"  m  w^ashington." 
"  Mr.  Tobias  Lear." 


Original  Draft  of  Washington's  Letter,  when  before  York- 
town,  to  Count  de  Grasse,  begging  his  co-operation 
with  his  fleet. 

795  Washington,  George.  The  Original  Draft  of  his  letter 
to  Count  de  Grasse,  in  the  handwriting  of  his  Aide,  John 
Laurens,  with  interlineations  in  the  handwriting  of  George 
Washington.     4  pages.    Folio.     (Written  Sept.  25th,  1781.) 

This  is  the  original  draftof  Washington's  famous  letter  to  Count  De  Grasse, 
written  Sept.  35,  1781,  It  came  from  the  papei's  of  Henry  Laurens,  President 
of  the  Continental  Congress.  De  Grasse  with  the  French  fleet  was  in  the  bay 
at  the  mouth  of  York  River.  Heai'ing  that  the  British  naval  reinforcements 
had  reached  New  York,  he  was  anxious  to  leave  the  bay,  fearing  thathe  might 
be  shut  up  in  it.    This  letter  of  Washington's  persuaded  him  to  give  up  that 


95 

plan,  and  no  doubt  was  the  prime  factor  in  the  victory  at  Tovktown,  which 
soon  followed.  In  this  connection  it  is  one  of  the  most  important  letters 
which  Washington  ever  wrote.  It  is  not  known  where  the  letter  is  which 
was  actually  sent  De  Grasse,  by  the  hands  of  Lafayette.  It  has  probably  been 
destroyed.  The  Department  of  State  owns  another  draft,  probablj'  later  than 
the  one  we  here  describe.  This  letter  differs  materiallj'  in  the  phraseology 
from  the  letter  quoted  in  Spark's  Washington's  correspondence,  and  other 
places.  In  this  draft  are  several  interlineations  and  corrections  in  the  hand- 
writing of  Washington,  and  it  is  fair  to  presume  that  this  is  really  the  first 
drait  of  that  interesting  and  important  historical  paper,  and  that  Laurens 
made  a  con-ected  copy  which  we  presume  is  the  one  owned  by  the  Depart- 
ment of  State,  and  that  the  one  sent  to  De  Grasse  was  a  third  revision,  as  all 
three  differ  somewhat  .in  the  phraseology.  The  writer.  Col.  John  Laurens 
was  one  of  the  Commissioners  at  the  surrender  of  Yorktown. 

This  letter  is  accompanied  by  a  type-written  copy  of  the  letter  received 
by  De  Grasse.

panied by  broadside  proposals  for  checking  the  rebellion  in 
America.     2  pp.     Folio. 

This  valuable  historical  document  and  letter  Illustrates  a  scheme  formu- 
lated by  the  Dean  of  Oloucester  for  subduing  the  revolting  Colonies  u  Amerl- 
Ica.  The  proposal  commences  "  Many  attempts  have  been  made  of  late  Years, 
and  are  still  making  to  subvert  the  happy  Constitution  of  this  Country,  and 
to  introduce  something  in  its  stead  similar  to  those  horrid  Monsters  called 
Congress,  now,  or  lately  tyranizlng  over  America And  when  all

Things  had  been  laid  level,  then  these  desperate  Projectors  were  to  bays 
tried  their  Strength  to  their  own  darling,  but  preposterous  System  of  uni- 
versal Indepedence."    Etc. 

The  letter  commences:  "It  is  very  probably  from  ye  Accounts  lately  rec'd,

the  names  of  some  of  the  Gentlemen  of  that  Denomination  who  remain  un- 
tainted amidst  ye  general  Inlection  of  their  Brethren."    Etc. 

Note— Dean  Tucker  was  the  author  of  several  pamphlets  at  the  time  of  the 
American  Revolution,  advocating  the  most  strenuous  measure  being  taken  to 
subdue  the  Colonists,  and  keep  them  under  the  British  joke.  In  this  Proposal 
he  advocates  the  scheme  of  reprinting  some  of  his  own  pamphlets,  and  the 
fast  sermons  of  Dr.  Campbell,  published  in  1776,  on  the  Rebellion  in  America, 
and  have  them  distributed  in  100  pai'cels  for  the  Colonies.  To  be  distributed 
in  Nova  Scotia,  East  and  West  Florida,  and  more  particularly  in  the  Prov- 
inces of  New  York,  Xew  Jersey,  Pennsylvania  and  Maryland,  with  express 
instructions  that  four  New  England  governments  shall  be  amply  supplied,

possible  event  of  war You  will  be  amply  justified  in  repelling 

with  firmness  any  imputation  of  the  most  distant  intention  to  sacrifice  our 

connection  with  France  to  any  connection  with  England The 

stories  of  Genet  as  to  the  royal  medallions  &c  being  exhibited  in  the  Presi- 
dent's room,  and  his  giving  private  audiences  to  certain  French  emigres,  are 
notoriously  untrue,  and  if  any  insinuation  should  he  made  with  regard  to 
Mde  La  Fayette,  so  directly,  as  indispensably  to  call  for  an  answer,  it  may 
be  affirmed,  that  notwithstanding  the  warmest  friendship,  contracted  between 
the  President  and  him;  in  the  most  interesting  scenes,  notwithstanding  the 
obligation  of  the  United  States  to  him,  and  the  old  prepossessions  in  his  favor 
the  efforts  of  the  President  in  his  behalf  have  never  gone  further,  than  to  ex  - 
press  a  wish  to  the  authority  which  held  him  in  confinement,  that  he  should 

be  liberated We  are  particularly  concerned  to  understand  the 

true  state  of  the  different  sects  of  politics.  Are  there  any  of  the  old  friends  to 
the  ancient  regime  remaining?    ....    Are  the  Brissotines  extinguished? 
Are  the  Dan tonists  overwhelmed?    Is  Robespierre's  party  firmly  fixed  ? 
...    You  will  let  it  be  seen,  that  in  case  of  war,  with  any  nation  on  earth 
we  shall  consider  France  as  our  first  and  natural  ally"  &c

Silver  Urn  Owned  by  Dolley  Madison. 

844  A  Beautiful  Solid  Silver  Antique  Urnshaped  Vase, 
with  Handles  and  Lid.  Beautifully  engraved,  and  with  the 
monogram  *'M,"  of  President  Madison,  on  side.  A  very 
handsome  piece  of  workmanship,  and  evidently  made  in 
America  during  the  latter  part  of  the  eighteenth  century. 

The  vase  formerly  belonged  to  l>olley  Madison,  wife  of  James  Madison,  the 
father  of  the  Constitution  and  President  of  the  United  States,  accompanied

Washington  Memento. 

844  B  White  Cotton  Napkin,  with  a  reproduction  of  the 
anecdote  of  "Washington  and  the  Cherry-tree"  and  with 
jBfty-six  lines  of  poetry  on  the  subject.  Printed  in  bhie, 
and  a  Small  White  China  Cup,  with  handle,  decorated  in 
blue,  with  the  inscription,  "To  Washington  the  Patriot  of 
America,"  on  side. 

Probably  unique.  Made  shortly  after  Washingtou's  death,  as  a  present  to 
a  child.  Very  interesting,  as  the  engx'avings  at  the  top  of  napliin  represents 
Washington's  lather  interrogating  the  youthful  Washington  as  to  who 
chopped  the  cheiry  tree. 

Dr.  Benjamin  Rush's  Pistols. 

844  c  A  Superb  Pair  of  English  Flint-lock  Pocket 
Pistols,  with  all  the  necessary  appurtenances  for  loading  and 
cleaning,  bullet  mould,  etc.,  in  oak  case. 

Uelonged  to  Dr.  Benjamin  Rush,  the  signer  of  the  Declaration  of  Independ- 
ence, accompanied  bj'  a  certificate  of  genuineness,  signed  by  a  member  of 
the  family  who  inherited  them.  Aside  from  being  a  relic  of  Dr.  Rush,  they 
are  choice  specimens  of  Hint-lock  pistols,  much  finer  than  are  usually  met 
with. 

Fair  Tucker  China  Washington  Pitchers,  Decorated  with 
Miniatures  by  William  Birch. 

844  D  Two  White  Porcelain  Pitchers,  each  decorated  on 
one  side  with  a  beautiful  miniature  portrait  of  Genl.  Wash- 
ington, in  colors,  by  William  Birch  ;  being  fine  reproduc- 
tions of  the  w^ell-known  portrait  on  ivory,  which  he  painted 
from  life.  On  the  other  side  of  each  pitcher  is  a  mountainous 
scene,  in  which  is  a  flag  pole,  and  an  American  flag  floating 
therefrom.  In  front  are  eagles  with  outspread  wings,  the 
whole  relieved  with  gilt  decorations. 

We  are  safe  in  saying  that  these  are  the  only  two  perfect  Tucker  Washington 
pitchers  in  existence,  the  only  other  known  is  much  damaged,  and  in  the 
Morris  collection  in  the  museum  at  Memorial  Hall,  Philadelphia.  They  were 
made  in  Philadelphia  in  the  early  part  of  the  last  century  by  William  Ellis 
Tucker,  in  Philadelphia,  and  are  of  a  quality  of  porcelain  equal  to  the  finest 
French,  and  are  of  the  first  porcelain  manufactured  in  this  country.  Any 
specimens  of  this  china  are  of  great  rarity.  The  purchaser  can  pride 
himself  on  owning  two  of  the  rarest  pitchers  in  this  country. 

Statuettes  of  Washington  and  Franklin. 

844  E  Two  Old  French  China  Statuettes,  in  white,  gold 
and  colors  ;  being  full-length  figures  of  Genl.  Washington 
and  Benjamin  Franklin,  of  early  French  make,  about  the 
middle  of  the  latter  half  of  the  iSth  century.  Height, 
14^  inches. 

Vei-y  rare,  and  in  perfect  order.  The  only  other  copies  known  are  In  the 
possession  of  the  Metropolitan  Museum,  New  York,  and  Henry  Whelen,  Jr., 
of  Philadelphia,
